A Pantry Essential
Keeping a jar of mixed herbs in the cupboard saves time and adds instant depth to meals without the need to measure out individual spices every time you cook. This particular combination balances the earthiness of oregano and thyme with the brightness of cilantro and parsley. It works wonderfully in soups, stews, marinades, or even sprinkled over scrambled eggs for a quick flavor boost.
By pre-mixing these staple herbs, you ensure a consistent flavor profile without fumbling with multiple jars during the dinner rush. It is a simple way to preserve the flavors of the garden for year round use, ensuring that even in the depths of winter, your kitchen smells of summer growth.
